05/01/16 Wiper Container Cap
I tried to check the fluid level in the Windshield Washer container and the thing started to fall apart in my hand.
  • Windshield Washer Fluid Reservoir Cap: DORMAN 47107

02/20/16 Front Shocks
I had some free time so I decided to change out the front shocks, it might be counter productive as I still need to replace the springs, but the ride was much better. The old shcoks were some generic blue shock, I was definitely hitting the rubber boot on bumps, now It doesn;t feel like I am. I also about two weeks ago fixed the hood sitting high. so its looking much better.
  • Shocks (front): Bilstein B6 HD xx-xxxx

10/14/15 Rear Shocks
The car needs shocks and springs. I decided to tackle the easiest task first. I replaced the rear shocks. I purchased Bilstein shocks from Summit Racing. The ones that were on it were Gabriel Red Ryder Gas. They were red and had a shitty black spray paint over them. They were shot.
  • Shocks (rear): Bilstein B6 HD 24-001564

7/25/15 Dome Light and Lens
The dome light didn't work so I tried to pull it off. It disintigrated in my hand. Had to order a new one from Firebird Central. Also ordered a light bulb as it had none.
  • Dome Light Lens: INT-532
  • Bulb: INT-528


7/22/15 Rear Brakes
Had the brakes checked the the rear brakes were shot. Pads and rotors were pretty bad. The right rear caliper didn't work at all, and the left rear had a leak. Basically the front brakes were stopping the car. So to rockauto.com I went. I ended up getting the following parts. I then had a buddy allow me to use his garage. I did most of the work my self, but his knowledge was very useful.
  • Caliper: A-1 CARDONE 184140 (18-4140)
  • Caliper: A-1 CARDONE 184140 (18-4141)
  • Rotor: 2x PRONTO BR5560 (60881)
  • Brake Pads: WAGNER QC154


7/11/2015 Tires
I noticed the passenger side tires had some bad cracks. I had to get new tires. I wanted BFGoodrich Radial T/A, but settled on Primewell PS680. Looks just as nice.

Drivers side floor light switch.

Fixed center console hinge (temp).
I used some black electrical tape along the edge where the joint is at.

Coolant Overflow repair/cleaning.
The jug had a crack in the side where the mounting bolts were. This caused coolant to leak. I used some washers and sealant to hold the bolts in the jug, then mounted it back on the frame. No more leak. Prior to doing this I cleaned as much of the 'ziebart' spray that was on it.

Radiator Insulator Feet.
The rubber feet holding the radiator in the shroud were missing/loose. I mostly removed the shroud to get to the loose feet on the bottom. The rubber feet I ordered to replace them were the wrong ones. I ordered 4, used 1. I gave the rest away on TAC.


Front Bumper Emblem
I have replaced the old one which was missing the gold inlay with a new one.


T-Top Outer Side Plastic Rail Trim Covers
These go on the inside of the t-top, where the locking handle is. Both of mine had cracks on it. The drivers side broke just by me touching it.
